it is mediatype=movies and collection=opensource_movies. that is where it should be as you do not have admin privs for any private collections.

I have way over 50 videos for a collection... If I can only get past the problems with uploads to opensource_movies. I believe the issue I now face is due to a hardware failure at archive.org

item manager / show history for item
http://archive.org/catalog.php?history=1&;identifier=IndustryInsidersFaceOffAgainstCornellScientistsAndWalterHangOn

server readonly -- tasks waiting for harddrive fix

I suppose I should just destroy this item and start all over again.

that server is back only and is read/write. drive failure is a reality and we usually have servers back to read/write within 24 hours when that occurs. no need to destroy those items. usually just waiting a day or so will solve the issue.

So, are you saying that this is a backup drive? I guess that would always be the case with whatever RAID system.

I am afraid that I might have confused things. Might I have created a situation where the XML files are confused with media files and thus get errors when the system tries to transcode them?

This is the error I am seeing now:

nope. that's a bug relating the the torrent file that is on our fix it list. it has nothing to do with your files or your item in particular.

Things are starting to work. I had to go to the edit files page, then click on update (without changing a thing), then then presented me choices for which collection. Now there is a video player, and hopefully the transcodes, or derived files are on their way. I put two videos together under one item. I am hoping that eventually both will be displayed in the video player. It look like I could as well have uploaded separately then used the 'transclude' feature. But I hope that I will be able to keep video segments together in one item, for example a forum with different speakers.
